2024-10 Monthly summary for simulationcraft/simc focusing on Death Knight mechanics and stability. Delivered two key contributions: a new thorn synergy between Brittle talent and Undeath, enabling Undeath to proc the brittle debuff when brittle talent is active, expanding combat interaction and potential DPS optimization; and a DoT inheritance restructure for undeath_dot_t that was subsequently rolled back to restore previous behavior, preserving stability and compatibility. Both efforts included explicit commit traces to support traceability and regression safety, reinforcing modeling fidelity while maintaining codebase stability.
